Coach, educator, and former executive with 20+ years of experience building cross-functional teams and managing, coaching, and training high-performing managers and leaders.
My coaching style leverages co-active principles, along with other techniques from my work as a manager and educator, designed to empower clients to clarify their priorities, examine problems from different perspectives, and achieve greater results and resilience, both personally and professionally. I ground the coaching relationship in candor, compassion and humor.
I measure success along four vectors:* Has the client clarified what matters most to them? (Both the What and the Why)* Has the client set (and achieved) meaningful goals that reflect what matters most to them? * Has the client made meaningful stride at becoming their own coach? (i.e., able to work on future challenges/goals with increased independence) * Finally, does the client recommend me to their trusted friends, family and colleagues?
My superpower is holding space for empathy AND truth-telling.
Dear client: You are someone who believes in your potential to achieve more, you're willing to do the work, and maybe you're not quite sure how to get there -- either with where to begin, or how to envision the path that will follow. My love of coaching is rooted in a belief that we all are capable of great things, if we're willing to paddle our own canoe. Also, I sometimes use unorthodox metaphors in my coaching -- so it helps if you appreciate a little out-of-the-box thinking from time to time.
